a bit random,anyone know the bolt size for dipstick bracket

[italian job]

Just on the offchance,does anyone know the bolt size for the bolt that secures the dipstick to the nearside rocker cover please?

I don't think its metric,although its similar in size to M5.

I cant find the bolt that I removed,i just have the hole in the rocker cover that I have already fitted(like a genius)

Cheers Paul.

It will be UNC

if its nearly M5 then i'm guessing 10-32? maybe 1/4?
This might help

Wish I had had that conversion table when I started putting my Chimaera back together,i love the mix of imperial and metric fastners. Its the first car I have owned that isn't metric throughout.

They are not bolts they are self taping screws same size as the screws fixing the plug lead tidy clips.
